Description of the problem | I serviced my focus on 5/29/19 for recalls. They performed a multi point inspection. Everything normal. 6/09/19, i was driving down city street 40mph driving straight the car down shifted suddenly and a warning " transmission faulty, service now" came on. I was able to drive it home , the car wouldnt shift into a higher gear. I attached both services done . After the second service was done to my vehical it still shuddered when accelerating. 6/29/19 this occured twice the same day, i was waiting at an intersection making a left hand turn into a gas station, when it was safe to turn, i let my foot of the brake and my car inched forward while i hit gas and my car did not move, i was nearly hit both times , the last second with my foot on the gas all the way down to the floor, the car jerks into gear. Ive called the dealership about fixing this issue , ive left messages with no call back, i finally got a service call set but not until july 30th. This has now occured almost everyday since 6/29/19. The car does not always do this , it seems to only do it if im below a half a tank , or the first 60 miles on a full tank. I fear for my safety driving this car that when i hit the gas the engine will just rev u[ and not move and get hit. The car always had a shudder when accelerating since we purchased it 1/12/16, but the sales person insisted with new fuel saving system that it was completely normal. I didnt have any major issues besides the shudder when accelerating, and when i would start my car up the first time after filling up, until i got the recall fixed, now ive had nothing but issues. |
